Agree, Lisa. I had an ack the other day that read:
<<Acknowledged before me on such and such date.>> Period. That was it. No mention of the signer's name (which CO law requires.) So I hand wrote: "by Mr. Borrower." Also, had to write in a venue. If I had "my own" certificate, I could have/probably should have used that.
However, as to adding the signer's name on a jurat when CO specifically excludes it ... but doesn't necessarily forbid it ... I'm not so sure it's up to me to decide it should be included ....
As for: <<Most people/entities requiring notarization only care about the notary's signature and stamp. They really could care less what the cert statement actually says. >>
Totally agree! It's obvious they have no idea what they're asking for half the time, not to mention the difference between an ack and jurat. |
